Del Webb Reviews in Nashville, TN

Had a very good home buying experience with Del Webb Southern Springs in Spring Hill, TN. From Design to Mortgage to Build Quality and Closing, Del Webb and Pulte Homes provided great customer service and excellent communication. The Construction Manager sent us weekly emails with pictures on progress. He also was very responsive to questions and concerns. I would say the same for the Pulte Mortgage team. Build quality was very good with two exceptions. The builder's painters were pretty sloppy with the overspray, especially on the floors. We are still cleaning overspray from floors as we fully move into the house. Also, the quality of the concrete pour and cure in the garage was substandard. They did a great job of grading it to run down to the driveway. But the concrete is already cracked (summer pour), and the flex gaps look like they were hand drawn by a kindergartner trying to draw a straight line. Just a note that Phoenix Systems and the Builder Technology Team (Smart Home and Low Power electrical) are not very responsive. We have been in our home for almost one month, and we still do not have a scheduled smart home orientation from Phoenix Systems to walk us through the smart door locks, MyQ Garage, and wifi range extenders. We are supposed to get "white glove" service and an orientation , but we have not gotten anything from the team. Please know that you will not get your Lodge access badges from the Southern Springs HOA on the day you close. As a matter of fact, the HOA will not give you access to anything until after they verify your home purchase after closing, so don't expect access to amenities at closing even though you pay your HOA dues with the closing. Plus, you will need one check for your access card and another check for your community name tag for anyone other than the primary homeowner and spouse. Also, this will hold you up from getting HOA approval for any upgrades to the home you might be considering having done BEFORE you move into your house. This is because they will not give you access to the web site for the HOA approval forms until after your closing. So, we could not get a concrete patio or fence installed the week after we closed because we had to wait until after closing to submit the requests for approval (so inefficient). Oh, and the approval committee for large projects only meets once per month at the beginning of the month, so make sure you have your package ready to go so you can submit immediately after you get access to the web site and the online forms. Then, run your checks (yes, these cost money) over to the Lodge (that you don't have access to yet). My recommendation would be to shop around for yard irrigation. Performance Lighting and Irrigation does not answer their phone and only seems to respond to email. Their seasonal maintenance seems expensive to winterize In the Fall and open the lines in the Spring. Plus, they are tremendously expensive if you want to make a change to the system and cut or cap lines for things like a concrete patio extension. They want to charge me $1800 to dig up, cut, and cap a few lines to accommodate the concrete patio. And, no, the builder would not allow us to make this adjustment during the irrigation installation. The technician who provided my orientation was nice enough, but he did not show me where all the heads are or whether or not they were working and pointing in the right directions. I hope our lessons learned help with your build! ... More

The process of building, my home was very good. Keith, Sales, and TJ building superintend, were outstanding because of their responsiveness , and knowledge. On the other hand, I was very disappointed in Pulte offerings. Although home prices looked reasonable to begin with as it turns out, there are very few opportunities to upgrade, such as lighting fixtures, flooring, paint, etc. so therefore, once I moved in, I had to pay to get what I wanted in the first place. Also, some of the workmanship could have been better. For example, many areas in the home had glue on the flooring, which had not been cleaned up. Also something is seriously wrong with the paint in some areas. It is extremely sticky even after two months. Overall, I am pleased with my home, but caution anyone getting ready to purchase that you’re going to have to put money into the home if you want anything upgraded , additionally, some things aren’t even provided such as towel racks with the excuse that buyers don’t like where Pulte was installing them ...

All of the Dell Web teams were very responsive during the process answering any questions and keeping us updated on progress and next actions. The inspection and completion of purchase was seamless accommodating our schedule and needs.

My initial calls to the warranty department were answered promptly and addressed with a sense of urgency.

The home buying experience was excellent. We had a good salesman. He responded to our concerns quickly and effectively. There was one part of the process we were not happy with. We had to choose the home model, lot and lot before selecting the interior options. When we went to choose the options (carpet, tile, attic space, spare bedroom etc. we had to limit our options due to the cost. We asked if we could select a less expensive elevation so we could have a couple of options we could not afford otherwise. We were told we could, but by that time the price of the elevations had increased. It would have been nice to lock in the entire price of the house at the same time. The building experience was excellent. Our project manage was superb. He kept us informed and responded to our concerns quickly. We were allowed to see the house every Sunday. The house is well built. The one item that was not done well was the caulking, quarter round and painting of the quarter round at the floor. It was sloppy. ... More

Very nice home. Warranty issues tough getting resolved

We are very happy with our new home. Great neighbors and very cute houses. Employees here are very nice.

Over all a good experience. Have a few issues nothing major and they are taking care of them on timely basis.

I am so pleased with my home and appreciate the quick responses to any concerns I may have. The pre-closing walk throughs and preparation for closing was excellent.

The build process was smooth for the most part. Once moved in, we discovered the dish washer was fully installed without a power cord. It took 4days to get one along with the final microwave. We are still waiting on the trim kit after closing a month ago. In spite of that, del Webb has been very responsive and staff very helpful and friendly!

Turnkey approach to home buying

It takes time to settle in and evaluate the home with what needs work and what you enjoy most about it. I have been fortunate to live in several new homes in the past and can’t help but to compare workmanship. I am very happy with my new place and it already feels like home!

We were updated though out the process and the issues taken care of.

Great experience overall. Happy to be here

We really like the layout and design of our new home. The community and residents are great. Our only area we wish was little better was the workmanship of the home. It seems speed was a higher priority than the workmanship of the finished product.

My husband & I feel blessed to be in our new home in Sweet stage of life!

Quality of workmanship and materials for the price of the home is less than would be expected. We purchased the home in the community for the life style but are disappointed in the house.

We absolutely love all of the floorpans that were offered at Del Webb. Storage is a big thing on my list and the Stardom is what delivered the space that we need. The walk up attic space was a big seller for us as well. Unfortunately, they only offer one elevation that will accommodate the large attic. Once we discovered the lack of attic space we were actually given, we were told that this was the first house that they had built like ours and that they were not aware of the issue until we pointed it out. Someone should have caught this earlier. We still love our house and we are happy with the community and all it has or will offer. ... More

I was fairly please with the buying process however, when it came to the walkthrough and final walkthrough there was a problem. The lot was not properly graded when it was developed, which created the situation of having standing water. After the first walkthrough Pulte re-graded the back and side yards, creating a large ditch across the entire back of the property, inside the property line. Ditch was not there at the first walkthrough. This had a major impact of the yard itself, reducing the amount of space in the yard (I had planned on putting in a fence for my dogs) as I learned the HOA would not permit a fence to cross the ditch. Well, When I bought the house there wasn't a ditch! Now with the ditch I have continuous standing water, the grass is dead, and we have a breeding ground for mosquitos as well. I asked repeatedly for Pulte to remedy the situation yet they have refused. ... More

We have mixed feelings about our experience with Del Webb. On the positive side, the sales office was outstanding in both responsiveness, follow through and effectiveness. However, on the builder/warranty side, they were not. Phone calls, text messages and other forms of communications were left unanswered and non-responsive. If it were not for the sales side intervening to help us, we would still be living with defects and issues.

Our experience started out good but then…we are in the final phase of this Del Web development. The sales person we were working with from the start was all the sudden no longer working there(not by her choice) then we get notice from company stating what our closing date was. We were not ask or given a chance to change the date. Since we had not already closed on our house we were looking at having two mortgages and we needed to delay the closing by 2 weeks. We were told NO and that we would be charged $500 penalty a day for each day we delayed closing. No grace, no consideration no nothing except we had to pay $9,000 penalty. This all seemed to be driven that they were ready to be complete and move on to the next project ... More

We've encountered several relatively minor quality issues since moving into our home with most issues being lack of attention to detail during construction. Warranty repairs have been handled in a timely manner with one notable exception. We have a leak at a corner crease of a gutter near our front door that has yet to be repaired properly despite several requests (including photos indicating the leak).

Fixed shelving in the panty is impossible to deal with. Can not fit small appliciances for storage such as a Kitchen Aid mixer or bread maker. Kitchen draws are not deep enough many appliances. No drawers in two of the bathrooms. Linen closet door is extremely small. Laundry room door can not be opened all the way without hitting the dryer, needs a design change. No pride in workmanship on those working on the house. Flooring has spots of "glue" throughout the entire house.

Homes built at breakneck speed with little if any attention to detail. Painters have no idea what a drop cloth is, and I spent a few hours myself doing additional caulking and paint touch up. Some exterior left unpainted. Biggest issue was concrete floor and garage cracks. Project manager despite the above was awesome and clearly cared for customer concerns, issues pointed out during build were attended to immediately. Hopefully warranty reps. will be same (TBD).
